You are taking one of the many possible steps to help care for our planet. But how do you get started? The process can seem overwhelming. Let us offer some of our favorite tips:

There are a couple of paths that can lead to the term “green cleaning.” One of these is using green cleaning products. Another is cleaning your home in a way that reduces waste. Both are valid methods.

For the green cleaning methods, purchase (or make) your own cleaning products. These avoid a lot of chemicals that are harmful to the environment such as phosphates and chlorine. Some use sustainable or organic products, have recycled packaging, etc. For reducing waste, an easy step you can take is purchasing reusable products. Use microfiber cloths instead of paper towels. Use a mop instead of a Swiffer.
